Some of you my remember from last October the beginning of the Shaggy dog rescue.A dog to be named Shaggy was rescued from Cuba by a caring lady from England with the help of the Spanky Project here in Canada.

Recently I received an email update from Marilyn in the UK.

Hi Terry,

Shaggy has had a haircut . Perhaps I should find another name for him now!! ............ (No..... he will always be Shaggy to me, because that is his history).

When he arrived in England in November he weighed 7 kilo but now he weighs 9.5 kilo and is full of energy. He has been home for a week and we are having fun together. The first night he was home I showed him his bed, turned out the light and shut the door. He settled down immediately and he did not disturb me all night. He is so good. Already he sits when he is told to and comes to me most of the time when he is called. He loves to meet the other dogs in the park and is friendly and confident, therefore I can let him off the lead with no problem. He is a pleasure to be with and he has changed my life. ... While he was in quarantine I visited him 2 or 3 times a week and now instead of playing with my computer I play with him and take him for walks.
